While on their mission, the Planeteers discover that the drilling has caused a hole in the ozone layer, and they must work quickly to prevent the damage from getting worse.
The episode begins with the Planeteers receiving a distress signal from one of their fellow Planeteers, Linka, who is working to protect a rainforest in Brazil. When they arrive in Brazil, they discover that a greedy industrialist named Looten Plunder is illegally drilling for oil in the protected area of the rainforest.

They learn that the hole in the ozone layer is allowing harmful UV rays to penetrate the earth's atmosphere, leading to increased cases of skin cancer and other health problems.
The Planeteers race against time to find a solution to the problem, and Captain Planet is summoned to help. Together, they devise a plan to use a natural enzyme found in certain plants to repair the hole in the ozone layer. With the help of a group of locals, including Linka, they gather the necessary plants and begin the process of repairing the damage.
As they work to repair the ozone layer, the Planeteers must also continue to fight against Looten Plunder and his crew. They use their powers of wind, water, fire, earth, and heart to outsmart and defeat the villains, and ultimately succeed in stopping the drilling and saving the rainforest.
The episode ends on a positive note, with the ozone layer repaired and the rainforest protected. The Planeteers celebrate yet another victory for the environment, and pledge to continue their mission to protect the planet from harm.
